This type of inheritance pattern shows BOTH traits in possible offspring

• complete dominance
• incomplete dominance
• co-dominance
• dominant pattern

In some carnations, flower color exhibits codominance.  Identify the correct genotypes for red, white, and speckled carnations.

• Red = RR, white = rr, speckled = Rr
• Red = RR, white = WW, speckled = rw
• Red = RR, white = ww, Speckled = Rw
• Red = RR, white = WW, speckled = RW

In some carnations, flower color exhibits codominance. When crosses, Red (R) and white (W) flowers make speckled flowers (RW) that show both colors.
Complete a cross between A speckled flower and a red flower. Find the phenotype ratio.

• 2 red: 2 speckled: 0 white
• 4 red: 0 speckled: 0 white
• 0 red: 4 speckled: 0 white
• 0 red: 2 speckled: 2 white

A calico cat shows both the traits for orange fur and black fur. What kind of allele expression is this?

• Incomplete Dominance
• Co dominance
• Independent assortment
• Recessive inheritance

A red flowered plant (RR) breeds with a White flowered plant (WW). The gene for petal color in these plants expresses incomplete dominance.  What percentage of the offspring will have pink (RW) flowers?

• 0%
• 25%
• 50%
• 100%

In the punnett square shown, what is the genotypes of the two parents?

• RW and RR
• RW and WW
• RR and WW
• RW and RR

Green is dominant to yellow. Two heterozygous green plants are crossed. What are the genotypes of the offspring?

• 100% Gg
• 50% GG, 50% Gg
• 25% GG, 50% Gg, 25% gg
• 75% Gg, 25% gg
